Just a question: is this an either-or thing? If the US isn't protecting some important sites, that is proof they're only interested in oil???
I think some of you guys need to take a few lessons in elementary logic, because it just doesn't work that way.
FYI, the marines weren't trained, equipped or ordered to stop looting. They could easily have stopped all the looting in Iraq, but at what price? How many dead looters are you willing to accept to maintain order? How many angry protests are you willing to accept after that?
Looting is a good way to vent anger, and in some cases the looting was justified: houses of former officials, hospitals that only treated former officials, etc. In other cases, the looting should have prevented, but by whom, and again: at what price...
